On Saturday June 14, 2014, Waukesha Sports Cards will host a public autograph signing for Milwaukee Braves/ Atlanta Braves/ Milwaukee Brewers 25x MLB All-Star outfielder and Class of 1982 Baseball Hall of Famer, Hank Aaron. The signing will take place at their location in Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Hank Aaron played 21 MLB seasons with the Milwaukee/ Atlanta Braves and finished his last two with the Milwaukee Brewers. He is virtually unmatched when it comes to power, average, consistency and longevity. Hank Aaron was a 2x National League Batting Champion, 4x National League Homerun Leader, 4x NL RBI Champion, 2x MLB Hits Leader, 4x NL Doubles Leader, 3x NL Runs Leader and led the American League in total bases eight times. He held a .300 batting average in 14 different seasons, hit over 40 homeruns seven times and had 11 100 RBI seasons. In 1957, he won his only World Series Championship as the Milwaukee Braves defeated the New York Yankees 4-3. Hank belted three homeruns, knocked in seven RBI and batted .393. On April 8, 1974, Hank Aaron became major league baseball's All-Time Career Homerun leader when hit homerun #715 off of Dodgers pitcher, Al Downing. It's been almost 40 years since his retirement and he still owns the MLB record for total bases (6,856), extra-base hits (1,477) and consecutive seasons with 150 or more hits (17). He is third on MLB's All-Time Hits list (3,771), second in homeruns (755) and first in RBI (2,297). He is third in Games Played (3,298) and fourth in Runs Scored (2,174 tied with Babe Ruth). He is the only player in MLB history with over 700 homeruns and 3,000 hits. When it comes to "The Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time," it's pretty hard to argue against Hammerin' Hank Aaron.
